Honestly, I have no idea what's happening in Honduras. But what do you mean by a "potential dictator"?

Who do you think is a dictator in Honduras?

Supposedly the coup was brought about because the current President Zelaya tried to make it legal to seek another term in office. Is he the dictator?

Is the new "leader" the dictator afterall he is defying the laws: "Roberto Micheletti, named by Congress to serve out the final seven months of Zelaya's term, vowed to ignore foreign pressure."--AP

President Obama has taken the following stance as have other world leaders: Obama said the United States will "stand on the side of democracy" and work with other nations and international groups to resolve the matter peacefully.

"We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the democratically elected president there," Obama said.
Obama and other leaders do not support military coup as a means of political transition.

For the time being M.Zelaya is a democratically elected president and military coups are hardly laudable manoeuvers . The Honduran people seem to back up the president, while the establishment supports the military.

Because the military forced the PRESIDENT of Honduras out of office by the military coup, which is illegal, and Obama is encouraging the citizens of Honduras to side with the president and to follow the constitution. Maybe Obama side with the Honduras president to prove to our citizens that we all need to follow the constitution.
